Windows Updates applied in OOBE - while I do want this behaviour in most cases, there are plenty of times I would want to skip updates. Why are you launching this change with no Admin controls? Feels arrogant and user hostile.

Sep 19, 2024Hi Paul,
Thank you for the feedback. We should be publishing more info on this in the near future. If possible, can you provide some additional info here on why this is important or significant for your org to be able to do this?
- Paul_WoodwardSep 19, 2024Iron ContributorUser brings us broken device, has urgent meeting. We can't fix device quickly, and device Reset takes way too long, so we give them a new laptop from the build room, and they go through user-driven autopilot. They'll be pretty upset if there are lengthy delays before they get to the desktop because of Windows Update. In our org we image devices with an up-to-date build, so they won't be so out-of-date that we can't allow the user to get started right away. Other scenario, I'm troubleshooting Autopilot deployments, so I'll use a custom deployment profile that's as streamlined as possible for efficiency.
